For My Boyfriend On Valentine's Day

Although I hate Valentine's Day, I definitely don't hate you.

For My Boyfriend On Valentine's Day

Despite February 14th being my least favorite day of the year, I decided that this year I would play along with the hype. “Why do you hate it so much?” you ask. Because I am someone who wears my heart and all of my emotions on my sleeve. Therefore, I think that dedicating one day to tell someone how important they are or what they mean to you undercuts the value of a relationship. However, if couples in relationships pride themselves on grand romantic gestures on this holiday, I finally decided that I wouldn’t deprive myself of this experience either. I am a woman of words, and these words are for you, Steve.

I have never met someone in my entire life who lights up any room that they walk into. If not with your sparkling green eyes, or your bright, white smile, it is your sense of humor that draws people in. That is what got me. You’ve had me laughing, both with you and at you, from the moment I saw you. And that rings true and true for anyone who knows you: you are a charmer.

You are the only person who operates on my ridiculous sleep schedule. You are up with the moon at 4am and you do not sleep until all of your work is done for the day. And that work is not easy. After your full-time job you keep yourself busy helping others. You are focused on the things you want in life and you work hard to get them. And above all, you understand the importance of a good night’s sleep.

You are focused on fitness and remain health conscious. Because of that, you have supported my habits, goals, and jobs every step of the way in our relationship. You know when I need to be told to just be patient with the process, and when I need a little inspiration. You know when to eat well and when to indulge. You share my love of getting a good sweat and eating a good sweet.

You are easy-going. Not only do you put up with my craziness, but you do it with a smile. You also put up with my crazy family. You balance needing and spending time alone and putting me first. You run simply on food and good sleep, and I am learning to know when you need more of either of those things. You go with the flow and you make spending time with you easy.

Stevie B, you are my favorite schmoozer. You make me laugh the hardest and smile the longest. You’ve taught me how to be smarter with money, with diet, and with exercise. You teach me every day that sacrifices can be made now to have a brighter future. You are a realist and you help me keep my feet on the ground and also remind me that I’m young and it’s okay to dream big. You make me feel special, strong, silly, and supported. You help me understand that things in life can be temporary, and you help me to enjoy the now. You even made me get excited about my least favorite holiday. You make me feel like an equal: a partner. You make my life better just by being in it. You make me fall in love with you more every day.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
